ANSWER:
I don’t know whether your wife is a righteous woman or not! If she checks all the boxes and you love her, you can’t obey your mother in divorcing her.
What your mother is saying is totally wrong and against Islam! She has no right none whatsoever in asking you to give your wife divorce! And she has no right in deciding not to give you anything from her inheritance as this right is given by Allah and you would get your share of the inheritance once she dies!
Take a separate house for yourself and your wife as having her own accommodation is a wife’s right in Islam!
